Sulfamethazine (SMZ) as a broad antibiotic is widely used in livestock and poultry. However, the abuse of SMZ in livestock feed can lead to SMZ residues in food and the resistance of bacteria to drugs. Thus, a method for the detection of SMZ in food is urgently needed. In this study, quantum dot (QD) nanobeads (QBs) were synthesized by encapsulating CdSe/ZnS QDs using a microemulsion technique. The prepared QBs as signal probes were applied in lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) for the detection of SMZ in chicken and milk. Our proposed method had limits of detection of 0.1138-0.0955 ng/mL and corresponding linear ranges of 0.2-12.5, 0.1-15 ng/mL in chicken and milk samples, respectively. The recovery of LFIA for the detection of SMZ was 80.9-109.4% and 84-101.6% in chicken and milk samples, respectively. Overall, the developed QBs-LFIA had high reliability and excellent potential for rapid and sensitive screening of SMZ in food.

Linear Programming Optimization of Local Food-Based Recommendations for Undernourished Urban Poor Malaysian Children Aged 2 to 5 Years.
Food Nutr Bull

Department of Nutrition, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Selangor, Malaysia.
Background: Poor diet quality may contribute to undernutrition, particularly affecting young children from low-income households. Therefore, affordable and healthy local food-based recommendations (FBRs) are needed.
Objectives: This study aimed to (1) identify problem nutrient(s), (2) identify locally available nutrient-dense food sources that can provide adequate nutrients to meet the recommended dietary intakes of undernourished urban poor children aged 2-5 years, and (3) use linear programming to recommend a daily diet based on the current food patterns that achieves dietary adequacy and meets average food costs for these children.

(sage oil) when used as a sensory additive in feed and in water for drinking for all animal species. The EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) concluded that sage oil is considered safe up to the maximum proposed use levels in complete feed of 20 mg/kg for ornamental fish.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of Precautionary Allergen Labeling (PAL) in baby food products in Korea, finding that it is present in 91.8% of items but only validated in 16.7% of cases.
- ELISA tests revealed minimal contamination from cow’s milk, while no hen's egg white was detected, indicating possible gaps in safety.
- Surveys showed that guardians, especially those with children having food allergies, are dissatisfied with current PAL practices and prefer clearer, more informative labeling, suggesting a need for a comprehensive revision to improve safety.
